INEHURST, located in Moore County. North
Carolina, was founded by James W. Tufts, Esq.,
of Boston. It is 650 feet above the sea level, in
about the middle of the State* being far enough
from the seacoast on the east and the mountains
on the west to escape the dampness on one hand
and the cold winds on the other. It is 350 mile^
south of Wasinngton.and sixty-eight miles from Raleigh, N, C.,
and is reached by the Seaboard Air Line or by the Southern
Railway by way of High Pointy which is about sixty miles
distant. The Pennsylvania Railroad makes close connections
at Washington with both these roads. The time from New
York is eighteen hours. Both the Seaboard and Southern
Railway run through Pullmans direct to Pinehurst during the
season.
The climate of Pinehurst is noted for its remarkable qualities.
It is this, added to the excellence of its hotels and the facilities for
out-ofnloor life during the winter, which has given Pinehurst its
world-wide reputation and popularity.
It is a well-known scienti0e fact that wherever the ** Piiius
'polusiris** or long-leaf pine growls in abundance the soiljthe trees
and their products are productive of what is known as ozone.
The region about Pinehurst was originally covered with great
forests of the long-leaf pine and the Government scientists are on
record as stating that in this section of North Carolina there is
m ore o zone i n t h e ai r t h a n i n a ny pla ce east of t h e R ocky Mou n tain s.
This accounts for the wonderful recuperative qualities of the at-
mosphere so noticeable to every one who \isits the place. There
is an entire lack of the enervating qualities found almost every-
where further souths and it is doubtful if there is any place in the
United States where persons brain-weary and nerve-worn rally as
quickly or make as rapid progress toward health and \^gor.

PINEHUHST, NORTH
It is a fact that there has never l>een known in the region about
Finehurst a sporadic case of consumption, and for those suffering
from the effects of grippe, or from persistent colds, or from any
other illness, the cHmate has remarkable regenerating and health-
giving qualities. There is an entire absence at Pine hurst of the
trpng J penetrating cold of the Northland yet one neversuffers from
the enervating, muggy heat met with in Florida, It is the happy
raean between the two extremes.
The Weather Bureau at Washington has observed and main-
tained the temperature records of this section with great interest.
They find it much w^armer than points south and north of Pine-
hurst, the average winter temperature for a series of years being 51
degrees. This is probably due to the sandy soil, which retains the
heat and, being a great absorbent of water, prevents evaporation
that would otherwise cool the air.
THE PIHEmmST
SEA50H
Many cottagers go down to Pinehurst in
October and stay well into the month of May.
Some of tlie hotels are open as early as Novem-
ber and remain open until May. During this portion of the year
outdoor life at Pinehurst is most agreeable, the temperature
greatly resembling that of autumn in the New England States,
Warm, sunshiny days and cool, delightful nights succeed one
another almost without interruption during the entire season.
THE STREETS
AM) SnRUDBERY
The village was laid out among the scattered,
picturesque long-leaf pine trees by the eminent
landscape architects, Ohnsted, Olmsted &
Eiiot, and ia now irndor the supervision of Warn-n H. Manning of
Boston, The road^ are bordered by masses of beautiful BlirubhtTv,
and curve gracefully around among the tasteful buildings, by tlie
deer park, and through the grove of stately pines, whose brown
trunks are relieved in the spring by the white blossoms of the
''dogwood." The easy, natural curves of the roadways suggest
some splendid private estate rather than a public village, and the
care bestowed upon them adds to the simikrity.
THE POPULATION
Pinehurst has accommodation for about twelve
hundred guests, and has a total population of
about two thousand people in the season. Of these, the largest

added enjoyment in the tout h of home life thus aftbrded. Those
visiting Pinehurst make one great family, all the guests in the
village being heartily welconietl to the concerts, dances, card
parties, afternoon teas and other entertainments held at the Country
Club^ hotels or elsewhere, and are at all times welcome to inspect
the many interesting departments of the village.

A bit of the Carolina vrrainla
flotels anti Cottages
The Carolina Hotel is thoroughly modern and luxurious in ap-
pointments and furnishings, and ranks as one of the finest resort
hotels in America, and the largest in the State. It accommodates
400 guests and opens early in January and closes
in April each year. Every room has a pleasant

outlook and many are arranged with baths en suite for families.
All rooms are connected by telephone with the office, and are heated
by steam from the power house nearly 2,000 feet distant.
The large lobby, music hall, billiard room and Dutch

are greatly admired. An excellent orchestra furnishes music far
superior to that usually heard at hotels.
The Carolina is famous for its tempting and elaborate bill of
fare and its cleanliness. Rates: S4.00 per day and upwards. For
further particulars address its manager, Mr. H. W. Priest, Hotel
Preston, Beach Bluff, JNIass., until October 1; after that date at
Pinehurst, N. C.
In the Carolina, as in all the four hotels in the Pinehurst
Hotel System, the greatest care is given to every detail which can
add to the comfort and pleasure of its guests.
Another favorite Pinehurst hotel is the Holly
Inn. This, like the Carolina, is of modern

construction and especially designed with a view to cheerfulness
of outlook in both public and private rooms. The Holly Inn is

none the less comfortable. Its cheery, home-like atmosphere is
one of its chief charms. It faces the village green and is built in
the form of a hollow square. Like the Carolina, it has its large
music room where concerts are given daily and dances and other
entertainments enjoyed. It is heated from the power house by
steam. Few hotels in the country can surpass its excellent table.
The Holly Inn is the second largest hotel and, including the
Radcliffe Annex, has accommodations for 200 guests; it is re-
nowned for its homelike atmosphere and good table; has many
private baths; is steam heated; has electric lights and orchestra.
Apply to Mr. Andrew I. Creamer, manager, for dates of
opening, rates and particulars.
The Berkshire and the Harvard hotels are

thus all the rooms in the house receive an abundance of hght and
air. A broad, covered piazza emends along the whole front of the
building, commanding a fine view of the beautiful pine grove
across the lawns, while on the south side is a large sun piazza.
The Berkshire, like the other hotels at Pinehurstj is lighted with
electricity, heated by steam, has perfect plumbing, and is sup-
plied with artesian well w^ater in abundance.
The Harvard accommodates about seventy-five guests, and
has several suites with baths. It is well furnished and is located
near the Holly Inn, facing the village green. The Harvard has
two cottage annexes and Franklin ChamlxTS. Apply to F. H.

giving air and climate of this region as much as those who can
afford to patronize the best hotels, to take a much-needed rest or to
spend a few weeks at Pinehurst for the benefit of their health. Full
particulars may be had by addressing Pinehurst General Office.
FIFTY COTTAGES
There are about fifty cottages and apartments
which can be hired for the season. They are all
supplied with electric lights and running water, and many of them
are heated by steam from the power house, and the others are
heated by stoves and fire-places. They are all comfortably fur-
nished for housekeeping, with the exception of bed and table linen.
The cottage life is very delightful at Pinehurst, and becoming more
and more popular. Many of the cottagers return to Pinehurst
year after year. On account of the cost of express and freight, the
expense of living is somewhat in excess of cities in the North. The
terms of rental are one-third on taking lease, one-third November
15, and one-third January 1. For further particulars apply to
Pinehurst General Office for rental list.

Children are taken from the primary grade to college preparatory,
and the best of teachers are in attendance.
Those wishing to have their children enjoy the advantage of an
outdoor life during the winter can be assured that they will be
under the best of care, as each cottage in which the children live is
under the personal supervision of one of the masters. Parents
wishing to go to Pinehurst and live in hotels or cottages can place
their children at the school, or have private lessons, as they prefer.

long-continued exercise. All the hotels and cottages have roomy,
comfortable and shaded piazzas and the hotels sun parlors — ideal
spots in which to enjoy one's favorite author or the latest story.
THE VILLAGE HALL
The village hall is used on Sunday for the
services of the different denominations, and
during the winter many entertainments are given for the benefit
of the native schools. An attractive entertainment hall, avail-

that at Pinehurst is specially designed for convenience and use-
fulness. It is located within easy distance of all the hotels and
cottages, and is a charming spot in which to hold the social gather-
ings that help to make Pinehurst life continuously pleasureable.
WATER SUPPLY
The water that is supplied to all the hotels,
cottages and Country Club is exceptionally pure.
A recent analysis by Prof. Charles Harrington, of the Laboratory
of Hygiene at the Harvard Medical School, shows that its character
remains unchanged and that it ranks with the purest and most
beneficial waters of the country.
"The water," writes Dr. Harrington, "contains about as little
lime as any water I have ever examined; in fact, all of the mineral
matter together amoint to 1.40 parts per 100,000, and in this
respect the water is extraordinary.

"Hardness is due chiefly to lime salts, but I cannot recall a
water in which I have observed so slight a hardness as 1-3 degree
and hence as little lime, with one exception, and that was in my
mind when I wrote the opening sentence — a specimen of fresh
rain-water.
**As to iron, if there is any in Pinehurst water, it cannot be
detected in the amount submitted."

The Dancing and Music Hall connected with the Carolina
Hotel is the scene of many delightful social affairs.
SANITARY SEWAGE
AND PLUMBINd
Special attention has always been paid to the
system of sanitary sewat^e, and plumbing of the
best and most modern methods, supplemented
by natural drainage conditions of a perfectly satisfactory character,
have made the village a model to the world in this particular.
There is not a cesspool in or anywhere near the village.
Manager George Simes, of the Sanitary Agency, Boston, who
was largely instrumental in perfecting the Massachusetts sanitary
laws, without doubt the best in existence, had charge of this work,
and his comment upon its completion is found in a newspaper
interview given at the time:
"Pinehurst,*' says ^Ir. Simes, *Ss the only absolutely healthy
village, from a scientific sanitary standpoint, in the world.
"Mr. Leonard Tufts, the owner of Pinehurst, conceived the
idea of offering to the American people an absolutely healthy
resort, and engaged me to inspect the plumbing and drainage
29
of the entire village, and to prepare plans for bringing both up lO
the highest known standards."
Pinehurst is often called Spotless Town,
because it is the aim of the management to
keep the village and its surroundings clear of rubbish, and the
buildings repaired and neat. Single ownership and management
make all this possible. Tbere are no unsightly piles of rubbish,
no litter in the streets, no unkempt lawns, no untrimmed shrub-
bery. And more than all tliis, there is no unruly element and there
are no acts of rowdyism.
The physicians that are allowed to practice
in the village are men who stand high in the
medical professions^ the management being very
careful to investigate and ascertain their ability before permitting
them to follow their profession in the village. There are one
or more resident trained nurses at the villages whose services
can be secured if necessary.

THE GOLF LINES
If one 15 fond of golf, and ^4.shes to enjov the
game during the winter season under the best
conditions^-cUmate, links and congenial company considered —
when the courses of the North are out of comtuission, there is no
place equal to Pinehurst, North Carolina, which i^ universally con-
ceded to be the winter golf centre of the United States.
Pinehurst clim:ite is conducive to good golf, for there is a
preponderance of bright , clear days, antl tlie air is wonderfully full
of ozone and snap, without being cold. There are two sepi;rate
golf courses at Pinelnirst, one of eighteen holes, the other of nine,
both admirable as far as topogniphy is concerned, and kept in the
pink of condition. The work on the extension of the nine-hole
exjurse to make it another eightuen ir* now king pu^hL-d, and it k
hopc^d that it will be ready for playing on this Bcason. Tim
elghteen-hole course ia considered the best profo3sion:d course
in the country whero Tvintcr g<jlf is iKissible* Each is pyKirty
enough to please any one, and yet thry are^ n^t tricky
courses, with snares and pitfalls for the good player. The nines
hole course is entirely separate from the larger course and is
equally popular. Each course has been so kid out that there are
no holes crossing, and no inconvenience is ever noticed from
overcrowding. The fair greens of the Pinehurst courses are some-
wimt sandy, but are covered with an excellent growth of grass,
which is kept in the best of condition by constant cutting, and
rollinft with a five-ton steam roller. Thev are seventv vartls or
more wide, and the soil is such that thev are never muddv. Pkv-
ing may begin as soon as the rain ceases. The putting greens are
sixty feet square and are made of hard clay, absolutely smooth
and even, and are freshly covered with a thin coating of fine
white sand and smoothed over several times daily. Putting on
them is a pleasure, as they are like billiard tables in sjK^ed and
smoothness, A clock golf green located beside the Club House is
a great attraction to both ladies and gentlemen, as it requires
less exertion than either golf or tennis.

TENNIS COURTS
Tennis is very popular at Pinehurst, there
being five courts, kept in perfect condition, three
in front of the Country Club House, where spectators may watch
the game from its broad piazzas, and one court each at both the
Carolina Hotel and Holly Inn. This interesting outdoor game is a
close second to golf in the favor of visitors. The convenient
locations of the courts aid in this popularity, enabHng the hotel
guests and cottagers to while away a leisure hour or take needed
exercise without having to travel to any great distance.
Roque, a most fascinating game, is much
enjoyed at Pinehurst, several excellent courts

being scattered through the village. Those whose knowledge of
this game is confined to its predecessor — lawn croquet — will be
wonderfully impressed by Roque, which, in the approved form
and on the perfect courts laid out for it, has become so exact and
so scientific a contest that among its votaries it is often termed
"outdoor billiards."

BIRD SHOOTING
A great deal of attention has been given to
stocking the 35,000-acre game preserve main-
tained in connection with Pinehurst. Every year about 150 dozen
quail are liberated as well as a large number of pheasants. There
are about a hundred quarter-acre enclosures scattered through the
preserve which are planted every year with food for the birds and
which are not reaped, so that the quail are kept fat and in
good condition. There are points in the country where larger bags
may be obtained than at Pinehurst, but there is no place where one
can get as good shooting and have accommodations approaching
those found at Pinehurst. Another feature of the sport here
is the excellent walking, the ground being hard and fairly level, no
mud, and very few briars and cockle-burrs that are often so trouble-
some to man and dog.
Quail, of course, constitute the major part of the bags brought
in, although oftentimes four or five woodcocks are obtained in a
day's outing, and occasionally a wild turkey or a pheasant.

PINEHURST
NORTH CAROLINA
The laws of North Carolina require non-resident hunters to pay
a license of $10.00 per seiison. Licenses can be procured at the
Pinehurst General Office. Shooting wagons and drivers, guides
and dogs may be obtained upon reasonable charges.
Shells can be purchased at the department store.
The kennels are stocked with between forty
and fifty of the best setters and pointers in the
country, there being several field trial winners among them.
GUIDES AHD DOGS
Those who do not care to bring their own dogs can hire competent
guides to go out with these dogs and are assured of having the
satisfaction of shooting over perfectly-broken dogs, handled by
men who know how to work them.
Dogs are boarded at the kennels, where they have the best of
professional care. A prominent veterinary recently said, tfter
going carefully over them, that they were the best conducted he
had ever seen.
The Kennels at Pinehurst are said hv an expert
to be the best conduded of any he had ever seen.
43
The hunting wagons used on the Game Preserve
are convenient for shooting purposes.
TRAP SHOOTING
A great deal of interest is taken in trap shooting
at Pinehurst, there being expert and INIaugau
traps arranged in the most approved manner, as well as a tower
trap, which was the first one built in this country and has been
copied by many of the gun clubs and found a great acquisition.
Shells can be obtained of the man in charge of the traps.
PISTOL SHOOTING
Pistol shooting has become a great attraction
at Pinehurst, from which ladies as well as
gentlemen derive much pleasure.
The State Championship of North Carolina is usually held at
Pinehurst.
Pistols can be hired at the general store, and targets and shells
can also be purchased there.
SADDLE HORSES
There are few places w^here the conditions for
riding are as good as at Pinehurst. The horses
and equipment at the livery stable are unexcelled. Over forty

saddle horses were bought by guests last winter and taken North
with them. The roads are soft (the ideal condition), and long rides
through this interesting country in the clear, bright sunshine are
much enjoyed. About once a week a g^^mkana is held in the
riding ring and hundreds of people enjoy watching the tourna-
ments, relay and pursuit races, and other equestrian sports.
A riding master will be in the village for the greater part of
the season.
DRIVING ROADS
Many of the roads outside the village are rather
sandy, but those inside are kept in excellent
shape, and recently there has been a strong movement to improve
the outside roads, which will add much to the pleasure of guests.
To those driving, the cordial reception given them by the natives
is very pleasant.

dancing in the beautiful halls connected with these two houses.
To all such entertainments all guests of the village are invited.
BOWLING ALLEYS
Two excellent bowling alleys are maintained
near the centre of the village, where many
congregate to play and to watch the game. The present popularity
of bowling at the North, particularly in the larger cities, and the
favor it has obtained among the ladies, as well as the vigorous and
healthful exercise which it entails, make it an especially suitable
game to be included with the recreations provided at Pinehursl.

MODEL DAIRY
The dirty and unhealthy condition of Southern
dairies induced the management to erect a
modern, up-to-date dairy that is the pride of Pinehurst and a delight
to all guests. More than a hundred cows are kept there in the pink
of condition, and the building is as clean as possible. Pinehurst
milk and dairy products are fully equal to those of the finest and
most exclusive dairies of the North. At no other resort in America
is the same care exercised in this respect, and visitors to Pinehurst
may be assured of obtaining perfectly pure milk, butter, cream, etc.,
at all times.

The Greenhouses in which delicate vegetables are
grown for the hotel tables.
POULTRY YARD
The extensive poultry yards are greatly admired
and the "birthday parties" held in the incu-
bator house attract hundreds of the visitors. The guests are
assured of fresh poultry and eggs, and know that all fowls are kept
clean and in a healthy state. Scientific care and feeding of the
flocks keep all the birds in the best condition, and both hotel guests
and cottagers enjoy a poultry supply that is equal to the best found
in the finest markets at the North.
MARKET GARDEN
The market garden has always been a great
attraction to guests at Pinehurst, as it is well
known that fresh vegetables are much more healthful than canned,
or those that have been shipped from a distance. The vegetable
gardens at Pinehurst are a revelation to Northern visitors. The
genial climate is responsible for much, to be sure, but the careful
and conscientious gardening that is carried on most assiduously
completes the work, and Pinehurst vegetables have mors than a local
reputation for good looks and toothsomeness. Greenhouses supply
the hotels with cucumbers, lettuce, spinach and radishes dail;^

2t takes a large amount of lettuce, which is grown
under glass, to supply Pinehurst guests.
THE GREENHOUSE
A large greenhouse furnishes roses, carnations
and violets throughout the season. This enter-
prise is greatly appreciated, especially by the ladies. The produc-
tions of the Pinehurst greenhouse prove very useful at social gath-
erings, at special dinners, for private use and on many other occa-
sions where their bright colors and agreeable perfume make a
welcome addition to table or room decorations.
There are frequent trap shooting tournaments
for handsome trophies.
THE LAUNDRY
An excellent laundry is conducted in the village,
attending to the needs of the hotels and guests.
This is under competent management, with native help, and pays
especial attention to the wants of visitors. Its work compares
favorably in every respect with that obtained at the large city
laundries of the North and the special laundries maintained at
great resort hotels elsewhere.
The ice plant furnishes cold storage for the
hotels and makes artificial ice from the pure
THE ICE PLANT
Pinehurst water. In this Pinehurst department, as well as in all
others, perfect purity and cleanliness are the watchwords. There
is no possible chance for contagion in Pinehurst water, and the ice
supply is equally secure from contamination. This is the more
important because of the number of invalids and convalescents
who visit this health resort and to whom great injury might be
done by careless processes or an unclean product.
The power house contains the plant which
furnishes the electric light current for the

of the buildings. It also includes the pumping station which sup-

plies the village with the famous Pinehurst water. The machinery
is up-to-date in every respect, is under the control of expert elec-
tricians, is kept scrupulously clean and in the best of condition,
and is an attractive place to visit by those who are mechanically
inclined.
THE POST-OmCE
The Post-ofEce is a money-order oflSce, located
in the centre of the village, and maintained
exclusively for the residents and guests at Pinehurst. Its location,
facing the central green, is most convenient, and it is a popular
rendezvous just after the arrival of mails from the North.
Long-distance telephones may be found at the
Carolina, Holly Inn and General Office, where
guests may talk with their friends in almost any

part of the country. This is another modern invention that adds
much to the value of Pinehurst, since it places the visitor within
instant touch, if necessary, of friends at home or elsewhere, and
makes him feel that Pinehurst is a near-by and not a distant spot.

PINEHURST, NORTH CAROLINA
THE TELEGRAPH
The two money-order telegraph stations at
the Carolina and at the General Oflfice are of
great convenience to guests, business men thereby being still in
touch with the stock market. By this time-saving invention, also,
travel arrangements may be made by visitors leaving, or messages
sent home announcing their coming; while others at distant points
can telegraph to the Pinehurst General Office or the several hotels
and book cottage or hotel accommodations in advance of arrival.
GENERAL OmCE
At the Pinehurst General Office is located the
manager and the bookkeeping departments.
An attendant is always glad to give information to guests or to
assist them in any way. The manager is a Notary Public and a
Justice of the Peace.

THE STORES
AND SHOPS
A large, well-stocked department store is
maintained, including groceries, hardware,
dry goods, novelties, gentlemen's furnishings,
boots and shoes, and an excellent drug store. There are also sev-
eral souvenir and fancy goods shops in the village.
«PINEHURST
OUTLOOK"
The "Pinehurst Outlook," a delightful Httle
paper, is published weekly and printed in the
village. It gives the news of the week and a
program of the events for the week to follow, as well as the list of
the arriving guests. It is a delightful souvenir of the days at Pine-
hurst, and is very popular among the guests, at both the hotels and
cottages, who send copies to friends elsewhere.
MEAT MARKET
The meat market is rented to one of the large
Northern wholesale packers, and the very
choicest meats are here obtainable. This building is substantially
built of brick and contains ice boxes and every convenience for the
storing, care and cutting up of beef, veal, mutton, pork and other

The pliotographic studio is a most attnicti\"e
building, in which many excellent native views
and scenes are for sale, as well as containing a
perfectly-equipped studio where artistic photographs are made.
It is in charge of a well-known photognipher, who is very successful
in portraiture. Visitors to Pinehurst who bring their own cameras
will find many attractive scenes around the village among the
pines, over the golf links, in the hunting fields and elsewhere. They
will be able to have their films and plates developed and prints made
at the studio, and will also be able to obtain photographic supplies.
There are no opportunities for employment
or for conducting any business at Pinehurst,
so that no one should go there with either of
these objects lu view. Soliciting aid or alms is proliibited.

The aim of Pinehurst is to make it a complete
plant, producing as far as possible all it requires
for its own use. Besides the many departments

shires are kept, the blacksmith shop, tinsmith and plumbing
departments, machine shops, carpenter and paint shops, elec-
trician's department, masons, bricklayers, shoemakers, seam-
